Drunk with Blood on His Hand on Crusty Row...

The call was for a heavy bleeder in Tompkins Square Park . If the man pictured above had been a heavy bleeder he likely would have bled to death . The call confused locations in the park causing a considerable delay in finding the location of the injured man . Fortunately the cut , though bad , was not bleeding dangerously .

Just a few weeks ago we pictured this same man ,Tim , being hauled away to the hospital . This time it was a cut hand . Previously it was a head wound due to a drunken tumble on the sidewalk .

We do not know what caused the cut on Tim's hand . Perhaps a broken bottle . Possibly a knife which would make this a more involved and topically important story .

This story goes nowhere as do most of the daily stories in the street . Mostly the same people are seen in trouble or in violation of a law , again and again . Police , Fire Dept and various medical personnel deal with it all daily . Mostly the same situations , sometimes violent , sometimes not , repeating again and again .
